Wicked star Cynthia Erivo is all set to join South Korean actor Teo Yoo, who broke out internationally with his role in Past Lives.
Erivo has Yoo and Isabel May for a unique action-thriller being made by Lionsgate.
Takashi Doscher, who was behind the 2019 post-apocalyptic thriller Only, wrote the script and is directing, reported Variety.
Plot and character details are not out but the project is being described as a corporate thriller.
The story is set in a Japanese-influenced New York City and features a revenge twist.
In Japanese, “karoshi” refers to an unexplained sudden death related to overwork.
Erivo earned a best actress Oscar nomination for her performance as green witch Elphaba in Universal’s Wicked, a role she returns to with Wicked: For Good, which is slated for release on November 21.. (PTI)
